We collected data through qualitative interviewing with six participants from the same social service office. In our study we have established that the concepts
The aim of the study was to examine gender differences regarding the activity on Instagram, and the correlation between mental health and Instagram usage amongst social work students at Lund University. More specifically, the study aimed to identify whether men and womens’ Instagram usage and motives for Instagram usage differentiated and if their usage affected them negatively. The study was cond
Soundcloud is the worlds third largest streaming platform for music. Despite this, the website is riddled with spam comments that disturb user experience. This spam diers much in format and content from the email spam that we are used to seeing, and that most classic spam lters have been developed to detect. On soundcloud, 90% of spam comments are written by users wanting to self-promote their own
This work aims to examine the strategies that social workers at non-profit organizations in Barcelona work with in meeting children who are in need of social support. The study was conducted qualitatively, with the method semi-structured interviews. The respondents were selected through a snowball selection and were all employees of non-profit organizations located in Barcelona, Spain. After the e
A short-term positive abnormal return occurs in conjunction with announcement of split. This indicates that companies disseminate vital information by announcing a split. The market interprets the signals as positive. Consequently, in accordance with previous research, we find some support for the signaling effect. However, the abnormal return decreases a few days after the announcement.

Abstrakt. Bakgrund: Genom Platt reformen och barnkonventionen samt NOBABs föreskrifter har nu barnet rätt till att ha sin förälder hos sig på sjukhuset dygnet runt, från att det tidigare inte var tillåtet för en förälder att vara hos sitt barn. Genom att involvera hela familjen utifrån ett familjecentrerat perspektiv stärks barnets trygghet och välbefinnande. Barn i olika åldrar har olika behov a
The aim of this study was to investigate how an adaptation from an integral production system to a modular production system would affect the risk management. A literature study of different production systems has been made, to compare the integral to the modular, and to gain knowledge on how an adaption from an integral production to modular could be made. This was done in cooperation with Tetra
Bristen på personal inom människorelaterade yrken som till exempel vård och omsorg är idag ett problem som behöver lösas. En möjlig lösning skulle kunna vara att höja individers communal yrkesmål (vilja att arbeta med människor). Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka om compassion meditation, en metod som syftar till att höja medkänsla/medlidande, kan höja gymnasieelevers communal yrkesmål. I Sweden is witnessing a shortage of labor within the social and healthcare sector. A viable option that could bring Sweden one step closer to a solution is to raise the populations' communal goals. Our study aims to explore if compassion meditation, a method that aims to cultivate compassion can raise communal goals amongst Swedish high school students. Within this study, 250 students attending
Multinationella företag har, på grund av den ökade globaliseringen, i allt större utsträckning börjat etablera komplexa leverantörskedjor vilka inte sällan sträcker sig över olika världsdelar. Produktionen förläggs framförallt i utvecklingsländer där efterlevnaden av arbetsrättsliga standarder många gånger är bristfällig. Allt eftersom kritik riktats mot multinationella företag har en insikt om etMultinational companies have - due to the increased globalisation - started to establish complex global supply chains to a greater extent, ones who often reaches to different parts of the world. In particular, the production gets placed in third world countries where the observance of labour laws many times are inadequate. As critical voices have spoken up against these multinational companies, th
This is a thesis on the Gê language of Xokleng and its means of subordination. This work is based on previous publication on the Xokleng language (Urban 1985, Gakran 2005, Gakran 2015). In this highly isolation language with almost no inflection, a large set of grammatical and lexical monosyllabic particles are used to express TAM(E). The most obvious grammatical particle is the sentence final mar
Bröstcancer är den vanligaste cancerdiagnosen för kvinnor och årligen drabbas över 9000 i Sverige. För att hitta cancern i ett tidigt stadium genomförs regelbunden screening (massundersökning) med mammografi (bröströntgen) för kvinnor i åldern 40–74. Artificiell intelligens (AI) och mekanisk avbildning, Mechanical Imaging (MI), har använts i separata studier inom mammografi för att underlätta granArtificial intelligence (AI) and mechanical imaging (MI) have been used in separate studies in breast imaging. They have individually shown great possibilities within the field of mammography, but the use of the two techniques together have never been evaluated. The artificial intelligence application used in this work was Transpara, a deep learning convolutional neural network. It distinguishes p
The modus operandi of most asset managers is to promise clients an annual risk target, where risk is measured by realized standard deviation of portfolio returns. Moreover, Markowitz (1952) portfolio selection requires an estimate of the covariance matrix of the returns of the financial instruments under consideration. To address both these problems, we develop a data-driven method for covariance
Företagets avdelning för distributionsutrustning håller på att utveckla en lösning för att packa förpackningar i ett rektangulärt mönster i öppna tråg. Lösningen använder sig av en delta-robot med ett vakuumdrivet plockverktyg för att plocka och placera förpackningarna. För att öka robustheten i lösningen vill man ta fram och testa koncept för att automatiskt, och utan operatörsinteraktion, hanterA distribution equipment solution using a delta robot for picking and placing packages in a rectangular pattern into cardboard trays (blanks) is currently under development. In order to increase the robustness of this solution, concepts for handling a variety of performance problems in the grouping or pattern creation area without operator interaction, e.g. toppled packages or missing packages, ne
From a security policy perspective, the grey zone area can be understood as the fact that the line between peace and armed conflict, civil and military, legal and illegal, is unclear and that there are many actors and areas involved. It is easier to observe a grey zone area activity afterwards than to predict it. Based on the theory of securitization, the study aims to describe, in a grey zone con
This work examines how the degree of responsibility, motivation and participation leads to high satisfaction in the work of technical personnel working on First Submarine Flotilla. The work is a theory-consuming case study that, with surveys and interviews, creates the basis for demonstrating through theory how high job satisfaction can be achieved. The result specifies the First Submarine Flotill
In 2018 90 billion tonnes of raw material was extracted globally. It is estimated 20% of this went to waste and with the quickening pace of global metabolism this figure is predicted to have doubled by 2060. In the context of the Anthropocene we need to reduce this incessant cycle of mass extraction and production of waste, change the production systems from linear to cyclic and prove for industri
Tänk dig att du har en tung elastiskt stång som hänger ner från ett fäste i taket och töjs ut, dels på grund av sin egentyngd och dels på grund av en extra tyngd som är fastsatt i botten av stången. Det skulle till exempel kunna vara ett rör som går från en oljerigg (taket) ner mot havets botten där en borr är fastsatt (tyngden). Vi kan styra hur mycket stången kommer töjas genom att justera tvärsWe study the problem first introduced by Verma and Keller in 1984 of how to taper a heavy rope such that its elongation is minimized. The problem is stated as an optimization problem of a functional J[w]. Specifically we provide a proof of optimality for the solution using traditional convex optimization techniques. We also utilize the Legendre transformation when studying the Euler–Lagrange equat
